Any of you that have or had a 5100 ever have the chain that goes from the drive shaft to the seed unit come off, land on the shaft between the large driven sprocket and the small pesticide sprocket and empty your seed box before you knew it? Monitor just tells me that the unit was planting, not that it was planting 320,000 seeds per acre! Never had that happen before! And it will never happen again when I'm done with it! ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

| Mine did the same thing a few weeks ago, planted beans at 240000. My monitor only alarms it your population is to low not to high. |

Thankfully it only happened the last day I planted but it was corn. I think that row will look more like drill oats than corn! I'm getting rid of those plastic sprockets, they're wore out anyhow, and putting plastic rollers on and I'm going to figure a way to keep that chain from falling to that small shaft. A well placed bolt of some sort. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

Thats one I have never heard of. But will keep a closer eye on my 5100 from here on out! The newer White planters use flat idlers vs the sprockets. With the exception of not enough down pressure for no-til I really like my 5100. When you get it set up it is an amazingly accurate planter.

| Lonn, I'm a little surprised you don't run a 7000/7200 (finger pick up) JD? |

| Does your White require more electricity to run than a 7000 series ? |

| On a 7000 you susposed to recalibrate on a test stand every 200ac per row. |

Thanks Lonn, before we got the JD 7000, dad looked at a 5100 but had electrically driven units ?? He said he wanted NO part of that set-up LOL !! Have never had a belt break in the 13 years it got ran on 35'ish acres(some beans were split rowed though) and the units were calibrated at the seed dealers test stand and came out 99.2% accurate  . Granted, it's only a 4/30 Consertill.

| Only the 4 row 5100 had the electric blower option. I bought one this year and then a parts unit shortly after.. they draw about 42 amps for the blower. My sm3 monitor for it actually shows population per row as a scan every 15 seconds a row. The sm1 is like the deer monitor and only shows when it stops of goes way too low. |

Lonn, dad was coming off of a JD 494A WITHOUT disc openers of any kind LOL!! The simplicity of our 7000 ground drive is pretty fool proof IMO  .
